This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:

Version 3.0b2
Released August 7, 2014
23.8 kB
Works with
Firefox 29.0 and later

* Fixed: With Liveclick extension installed, when livemark items are updated while the popup is open, Ctrl-clicking one of those added entries fails to keep the menu open.* Fixed: With Automatic Menu Closing and 'Other supported menus' options enabled and Stylish extension installed, right clicking userstyles on the Stylish toolbar button causes the menu to close inappropriately.

Changes since 2.2.1:* No longer requires restart to install/uninstall. (If you have a prior version installed and enabled, a restart will be required to uninstall that previous version.)* Ctrl-Enter now also keeps menu open* Enabling/disabling middle-click option no longer requires restarting Firefox* Change method of keeping menu open (avoids 'Access to the Function property is deprecated' AMO validator warning, etc.)* Default support for some menus added by other extensions * Remove use of deprecated FUEL API* Support keeping the menu open for History items in the new PanelUI (Firefox/Hamburger button) of Firefox29+ (Australis)* Drop support for TMP pref and ContextSearch pref (Use the 'Any other supported menus' option instead, which enables both, plus more)* Keep menu open when clicking to enable/disable userstyles via 'Stylish' extension's toolbar button (Requires 'Any other supported menus' option enabled)* Drop support for Firefox versions prior to 29* Drop support for Boox context menus* Drop support for History Button add-on (Use history button from new panelUI instead)* Drop support for PlainOldFavorites add-on (AFAIK PlainOldFavorites is not compatible with Firefox 29+)* Drop support for keeping menu open for 'recently closed tabs' on menubar (Use History widget from panelUI instead)

Known issues:* When Liveclick extension is also installed, "Mark all read/unread" closes the menu unless you middle-click or Ctrl-click that item. This could affect other menuitems added by other extensions as well. This may actually be good for consistency, but please report any such issues you find.* Non-english locales still list middle-click option as 'restart required' (but work fine without restart)* New string for Other Supported Menus option has not yet been translated for non-English locales

Notes: Includes support for "Toolbar Bookmark Menu" (Toolbar Buttons), since it adds only a few bytes of code, but encountered issue listed at http://codefisher.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=881 so it couldn't be tested properly.Some buttons added by other extensions may work fine with Stay-Open Menu w/o added support.

Known issue (Fixed in beta 2):The auto-closing feature may get broken for items on the Bookmarks Toolbar after you have customized your toolbar (using 'Customize' or 'Toolbar Layout')..
